Korra calls her out on her bullshit and takes off.
Meanwhile, Kai has trouble kicking his pickpocket habit and sneaks away to have some fun.
Mako and Bolin go after him, catching him in the act.
Perhaps a prudent performance for anyone who might be listening?
Im looking at you, Dai Li, you shady fuckers!
This womans firebending skills are so powerful, she must be imprisoned in a sub-zero environment.

Three for three, people.
The Korra writing staff is on a freaking roll.
Lets start with the titular monarch herself.
Theres no delicate way to put this.
The Earth Queen is a rotten bitch.
